    Optimistic sellers

    Thread Starter: Rcktfsh

    This trader must be pretty hard to outdo as far as optimism goes. Bike has been on the market for a year now, wonder when the penny will drop he''s dreaming at that price. You'd have thought after a year he might have got round to the little bit of tlc required to get running. ...

    With only 2 days until the new year, and just over 2 months until the season starts it's time for a new thread. Who's your money on? Will Bagnia do the triple? Will Marc return to former glory and bring us a season in which he dominates? Will Martin secure his dream to win a championship?...

      Wahoooo, what a day!! Without a doubt this was the best street race I have ever attended. Despite heavy rain just before practice and light rain during practice, despite the odd crash, and despite classics dropping long oil slicks around 3 or 4 turns TWICE, we still got a full 3 rounds in, a 10 lap King of Port, and finished on time. Awesome stuff!

      I got in 2 practices and nine races, and while my results were poor, I had a fantastic time. A would just like to give a big thanks to the comittee, volunteers, flaggies, fire, ambo's, and everyone else that made today possible. Best Port Races ever!

      I too had an awesome day & was stoked to have a ball & not crash...it was Choice!!
      Spent the evening before camped up in the pits with 2 characters from Wellington, barby going ,beautiful evening with a fat moon rising over the yachts in the harbour..was way cool.
      The morning looked completely different, with the rain & all ,but which washed the crap off the streets all nicely away.
      Great track I thought & had some good dicing here & there. I learnt one important thing which was to make sure that the bike is in gear when the flag is dropped....

      Big thanks to the "CREW" who got it all together,then took it all down at the end of the day. It was really well run you folk & it was the best day of 2010 for me !!

      Awesome days racing, It was my first time at nelson as a spectator, I would have rather been racing for sure, Its pretty hard watching from the sideline. Seemed to be well run from a spectator point of view. Hats off to the organization committee and crews, nothing like rain on race day morning to get the butterflies going i bet. I was Very impressed with Coppins, I thought he'd be like a duck out of water but he didn't disappoint!
